LEGAL ONLINE …………………………………………………………………………………… JOURNALS ONLINE USERS GUIDE The Journals Online service provides integrated access to Thomson Reuter’s full text Journals and the Australian Legal Journals Index (ALJI). Thomson Reuters provides access to 21 specialist law journals with over 130,000 pages of articles and analysis. The Australian Legal Journals Index provides information on over 100,000 journal articles including an abstract of the content, cases referred to and legislative references. ALJI content is provided by the Commonwealth Attorney General’s Lionel Murphy Library, and covers over 400 journal titles. With Journals Online you can search all journals content (full-text articles and abstracts from the Australian Legal Journals Index), simultaneously from a single search form. You can also browse for an article by journal volume and part, or by ALJI keyword. We have redesigned our hitlists to make them easier to use, by combining multiple full-text and abstract hits for the same article into a single result. You can also link to Thomson Reuters authorised and specialist law reports from Australian cases mentioned in journals online, as well as digest summaries in FirstPoint. The Legal Online homepage provides access to the following features and functionality relevant to Journals Online.
